Future plans
- Right now, Kalaam is in it's early stage. Many programming languges took decades of team work to reach their God level. We go step by step.
- Kalaam needs to have a usecase so that people can start building stuff with it like apps, websites, extensions, plugins. The usecase can be unique that suits well to the indian ecosystem. This will help us to move in a straight direction.
- Conside Kalaam as your own project, explore it and feel free to try out new ideas.
Documentation
To check out documentation visit Documentation.
- Documentation needs a lot of work. I think short video tuts will really help insated of just overload of texts.
